Abstract

The minimalist lifestyle is to maintain a simple life in many areas of your life, such as things,
clothes, food, exercise, money, time, and technology. The minimalist lifestyle is intertwined with
the concept of sustainable consumption.In sustainable consumption, a person consumes only as much as he needs, does not spend limited
world resources on luxury aspirations. This lifestyle shows people that happiness comes with
simple living, not consumption. In this study, the scale of minimalist lifestyle determination has
been developed in terms of environmental bioethics. After the literature review, expert opinion was
taken for the item pool created, and statistical studies of the scale were carried out accordingly.
Afterwards, the pilot study of the scale was carried out. Scale sampling was applied after the
arrangements made after the pilot study. The universe of the study consists of employees
(academicians, administrative staff and others) of two universities and all individuals who agreed to
participate without going to the sample selection were included in the study. The sample consisted
of 408 people. As a result of statistical studies carried out after sampling of the scale, the scale was
finalized. The scale consists of 25 items and 3 dimensions. These dimensions are called “Minimalist
Life”, “Sustainable Environment” and “Time Management”.
